Just when you think you are 100% right about something, ready to stake your reputation, or something equally as substantial, you find out you are WRONG. Dead wrong! WOW. Tonight, I received an email from someone that made this little hypothetical example come to life. It's a long, rather tired story. Just suffice to say that I had all but given up on something and somebody. It has something to do with Senior Day at Furman this weekend. I was 100% convinced that I would be left out of the entire ceremony with Max. I have been sad and worried whenever it crossed my mind for as long as I could remember. But tonight, the one person who I have blamed for so many things, the person who I'm sure doesn't like me or my presence . . . That same person who occasionally ignores me as if I truly don't exist, that person considered me and Wyatt and has us scheduled to participate on the field, with Max on Saturday. WOW again. I truly never gave him enough credit! Shame on me! Valuable lesson: "don't be so certain you are right, that you miss out on the wonder of the world that is leftover as the truth is revealed."
Thank you to God for his patience in me and my shallow pettiness. And most especially for His gift of Grace.

I have a hard time too by not assuming things. And also thinking the worst of people. It's a hard habit to break. But when people surprise you, it feels wonderful. It kind of gives you hope. That is for me it does.
